04/11/2015 15:11Blues Hold Oshie Out Saturday
Oshie (rest) will not play Saturday against the Wild, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.Both the Blues and Wild are resting a number of key players with their playoff spots secure, while also exhibiting a bit of gamesmanship due to the high probability of the two teams facing each other in the first round. Oshie will finish the regular season with 19 goals and 55 points over 72 games.

T.J. Oshie will forever be remembered by casual hockey observers for his heroics in the United States’ shootout victory over the Russian hosts in the 2014 Winter Olympics, but it’d be foolish to overlook his contributions for a Blues squad that was the class of the Western Conference for a large portion of last season. The 27-year-old winger set career-highs in several meaningful categories, including goals (21), assists (39), plus-minus (plus-19). Oshie was mostly a non-factor in the Blues’ first-round playoff exit, but with St. Louis once again returning a top-flight collection of forwards in 2014-15, scoring opportunities should remain plentiful. With Oshie entering the prime of his career, he could very well flirt with the 60-point mark again, if not surpass it. (Updated 8/13/14)
